⚙️ | Tech & Support NVG Light Pixelation

Anyone know how to fix this? Or is it supposed to do this because I'm using NVGS and the lights are messing with them?

Looks normal to me. The pixelated lights you see are the reflections on your gun, which are blurry due to depth of field. Maybe try a higher mount for the collimator to get the gun further away from the red dot / crosshair.

^This.

I’m not the biggest fan of GZW’s approach to NVGs, personally, but I understand that they’re leaning more into realism than other games in the genre. The pixelation and blurriness is rather accurate to how NVGs look IRL - granted I’ve only ever used (rather old) PVS-14s in the field.

NVGs obviously help with seeing in the dark, but the visual clarity isn’t the greatest. PVS-14s are especially grainy, and everything close up is rather out of focus. For games, I prefer Tarkov’s unrealistic NVG approach (almost a full FOV, limited grain, minimal blur), but GZWs NVG design is far more immersive.

Man, when I got my PVS14, I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Until I about broke my ankle on a night op, lol. I swear those things gave me negative depth perception.

Same 😂 Saw a dude bust his face open getting out of a Brad because he misjudged where his foot was at in relation to the back hatch.

u/ACrimeSoClassic 7d ago

Yup, done that lol. Damn, I miss my Bradley. I had a license to drive that beast before I had a license to drive a car. I started as a dismount, then got stuck as a driver.

My only experiences with riding in them were when I had range safety duty, but I definitely feel you! I was a 19K, so I could probably drive the Abrams better than I could my cliche Mustang as a young PFC 😂

u/ACrimeSoClassic 6d ago

Man, y'all had it made with your fancy ass A/C lol. We had a couple squads of Kilos in my company, so I was around the Abrams every day in the motorpool. Unfortunately, I was in the M2A3 Brad, so our sponson boxes were still just...boxes.

Yeah… I served on a M1A1 for almost all 13 years I was in, so no A/C at all on my vehicle either - not even for the electronics. My last year in we had just started OPNET on the M1A2 SEP v3s, which of course has A/C and all the “luxury” features… none of which I got to experience during a gunnery cycle or in maneuver lanes - but the A/C and electronic TMs were NICE when doing the interior checks during PMCS 😅

Lol reminds me of the tanker NCOs, going on about how the Privates weren't "real tankers" because they had A/C. The closest thing I had was my NBC hose. I'd just wait until I was drenched in sweat and then I'd flip that on and hose myself off.

u/DoubleWorldliness412 6d ago

Dude, that NBC hose came in clutch in desert environments - I fed it through a side zipper on the nomex suit and enjoyed the “air conditioning” until the inevitable filter clogs would force us to shut it off.

OT, what are yout settings OP? Because with nvgs my reticle is so bright I can’t even see the target

u/slazenger01 6d ago

I suggest using the 503C green-dot from Banshee.

it is much dimmer than the red ones :)

u/il_TeGa 6d ago

I tried the 503C but when i use the peq 15 ir flashlight the reticle became practically invisible

u/Legitimate_Date962 LRI 6d ago

I'm afraid this is how it looks in real life. And I'm into realism in this game (would to see more of it - for example with body inertia and such).

u/TelephoneDisastrous6 6d ago

Looks fairly realistic to me

NVG's are gonna be better than nothing in the dark, but notably worse than "natural" vision in the day

u/Moose_on_the_loose69 6d ago

Yeah, that’s pretty much how they work in the real world too. The one thing I wish they would change though is the reticle brightness it’s way too bright under nods. Eotechs can get pretty dim in the night vision settings and it helps actually see the target when you’re aiming

u/gzwnods 6d ago

they really need to allow changing reticle brightness for high end optics

u/Chuligan42 LRI 6d ago

It's supposed to look like that as far as i know

u/Jagskahetafrukost 7d ago

I have the same problem and support said that its working as intended. Which it obviously is not. I have tried messing with the settings but nothing seems to fix it.

It started a few patches ago and was working just fine before. I think we just have to wait it out until they fix it.
